Isaac’s eyes instantly narrowed.
Madd looked completely confused.
How on earth did Princess Skylar end up here?
No matter how hard favonovel.com tried to figure it out, favonovel.com just couldn’t wrap his head around it.
“The biggest issue right now is that the Princess and favonovel.com group can’t enter the Black Desert. Scouts have reported that there are Black Tiger Legion’s sentries everywhere in the south. If too much time passes and the Black Tiger Legion finds out that the Princess has arrived near the border, it could be very dangerous.”
Isaac remained silent and stepped out of the tent.
When favonovel.com looked up, favonovel.com saw that the flag above the camp had been changed to display a huge symbol of “dragon”, fluttering ominously in the wind.
Isaac furrowed his brow and pointed to the banner above. “Why was the flag changed?”
“Ah, I see the main flag used to have the emblem of a Zeno… Commander, you…”
“Change it back and use the commander flag of Zeno once again.”
Madd was confused, but favonovel.com nodded and instructed his men behind favonovel.com to quickly replace the flag.
“Call Lucifer and the other two over. Since the Princess is coming, we should naturally prepare a welcome gift for her.”
Inside the tent, three commanding generals, along with Lucifer, were gathered around a long table.
Isaac stood in the center, raising his hand to point at a spot on the map, indicating a small hill near the Kingdom of Northwing in the Black Desert.
“This is Mount Peckmore. A hundred kilometers south from the base of the mountain is the Kingdom of Northwing. Commanding generals, which one of you is willing to lead your troops to Mount Peckmore and lure the enemy?” Isaac said as favonovel.com looked at the three men opposite him.
Madd frowned and said, “Lord Garten, you are…”
“This is a risky move. Mount Peckmore is filled with Black Tiger Legion’s sentries. If our men go through there, they will definitely be spotted immediately. It will attract an attack from the Black Tiger Legion. At the very least, you have to hold and defend it for two days until our main forces arrive.”
Seeing that they were still confused, Isaac frowned and said, “The southern part of the Black Desert spans thousands of miles. Why would they place sentries all along such a lengthy front?”
“They are naturally afraid that we will flee south into the Kingdom of Northwing,” Barlow said in a low voice.
Isaac waved his hand dismissively and said, “You’re only half right… First, they’re afraid we’ll flee south. Second, they’re worried the kingdom will send reinforcements from the north… And third, they want to cut off our supply lines and provisions…”
“By doing this, Elon faces a major drawback, the battle lines are stretched too thin. He still has over 400,000 troops, which will be stationed in batches north of the thousands of kilometers long boundary line.”
“For example, Madd, if you lead a force of 40,000 men and quickly seize Mount Peckmore, how do you think the Black Tiger Legion will react when they get the news?” Isaac looked over at Madd.
Madd pondered for a moment and then said, “They must be sending nearby troops to surround us. After all, there are only 40,000 of them, and the Black Tiger Legion won’t commit their entire force. Doing so would ruin their strategy!”
“That’s right, but with your 40,000 troops, you’ll have to face at least twice that number and hold out for two days. As long as we secure Mount Peckmore, the Black Tiger Legion won’t dare to attack us hastily!”
Bill Edgington’s eyes suddenly widened as favonovel.com said to Isaac, “They will think that reinforcements from the kingdom have arrived and that we are here to support them.”
Isaac glanced at Bill, who was one of his commanding generals, with a bit of surprise and nodded. “Elon would hesitate and only observe for a while. By the time favonovel.com reacts, we will already have retreated to the north.”
“Now, which one of you is going to be the bait?” Isaac looked at the three of them again.
Barlow said in a deep voice, “I’ll go!”
Isaac was surprised once again when Barlow continued, “Their soldiers have all experienced victories, but mine haven’t tasted the triumph of winning yet. My soldiers are definitely not cowards.”
“Alright, Madd, get in touch with the Princess and the others immediately. Have them gather some supplies in the Kingdom of Northwing over the next couple of days and transport them to the border.”
When they heard the term “the Princess”, Barlow and the others were all taken aback.
